Very early mention of autism...
Thanks for uploading this.
The author, Eugen Bleuler, first named autism around 1908, and it is described in this book (1911) as "autistic thinking." There are notes in this book that describe the various usages or meanings of the word autism. Steve Silberman's book NeuroTribes provides a good introduction to the history of autism.
